What a great 5 weeks in Florida. The weather was amazing. Believe it or not, only one bad weather day. I got to golf 9 times!!! And the time I spent with my son and his family was priceless.
Back to cold Connecticut and a snowstorm on Thursday. Pray for me...lol.

I got to watch most of this game on my phone while Lyft brought us to the airport and then while waiting to board. Even on the small screen Napheesa looked HUGE. She was 10-10 from the field and ended up with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists and 5 blocks. What a line!!! It's hard to believe that she is getting better and better.
Katie Lou struggled from long range again. Looks like a February slump. My guess is she breaks out of that real soon. She still ended up with 20 points.
What makes me real happy is that Kia Nurse is starting to really putting some nice games together. She had 17 points and 5 assists with no turnovers.
Not an easy game for Jamelle and the Bearcats. Geno didn't go easy on her as the starters were all around 30 minutes each.
I should be able to put together a post game report on this game.
******************************************************************************
The only other top 25 game was No. 19 Oklahoma against West Virginia. The Mountaineers recently dropped out of the rankings so this was a big game for them.
It was 56-44 in favor of West Virginia going into the fourth quarter. But Oklahoma was not ready to lose this one. They outscored West Virginia 22-9 to take a 66-65 lead with 1 minute left in the game. WV then scored with 44 seconds left to take a 67-66 lead on two free throws. 2 seconds later, Oklahoma was fouled but only made 1 of 2 free throws to tie the game.
The game eventually went to OT where the two teams battled back and forth. WV hit two free throws with 27 seconds left to take a 2 point lead and then Oklahoma hit two free throws to tie the game with 11 seconds left. West Virginia missed a jumper with 3 seconds left and so on to the second overtime.
Oklahoma finally put away West Virginia with some clutch shooting at the end of the game to win this tough outing 90-87. WV missed a three pointer with 3 seconds left for the final margin.
Whew!!!

f lean muscle mass won't make you slower but instead will make you faster. Every move that your body makes is because of a muscle from jumping to throwing to running. When a muscle gains strength, a larger force can be exerted. http://guidemesupplements.com/alpha-monster-advanced/
